The Airgun Show - hunting with a spring-powered airgun, PLUS the Benjamin Trail NP2 gas-ram on test

The PCPs take a back seat this week, as we dedicate an episode to spring and gas-ram airguns.
Mat Manning is out hunting with the spring-powered Air Arms Pro Sport and Tasco Target and Varmint scope at the idyllic Park Farm airgun holiday site. Grey squirrels and corvids are on the hit-list as Mat targets the woodland pests from a hide.
And we’ve got the Benjamin Trail NP2 on the test bench. Powered by the Nitro Piston gas-ram system, this break-barrel comes as a kit with a Crosman CentrePoint scope. See how it fares as Mat puts it to test on the range.
if a springer could cut it 50yrs ago, it will still cut it today....a rock could do the job, it is what you choose to hunt with. I love springers/gas rams, and hunt with some of the pcp users..both happy with choices, both successful hunters.
I use my Remington Express springer. It has a Remington 4x32 scope and I have it sighted in for 100-150 ft. It is quite accurate and death on pigeons stealing grain out of the chicken feeders.
what a great hunt !!! thanks .... my eye's have been opened to air gunning again. Blessings sir !
Can't we get a permit for politicians instead? They're way more invasive.
To hell with permits mate they're the ones who want the permits - just declare open season on the whole bunch and be done with it haha.
most of the people complaining about these videos probably eat meat ever day! bunch of hypocrites
Fantastic to see this channel really listening to those in the comments (I being one of them) with regards to the use of a springer instead of a PCP! Keep it up and I hope to see some more springer action in the future!
Nice rifle you have here.
AA Pro Sport - excellent spring air rifle! And a good shooter! Greetings from Russia!
Part of the camouflage also includes the rifle you have a very shiny rifle that reflects light and scares your quarry. Paint it or tape it, but camo it to blend your surroundings. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent video - thanks guys!
Bonus shot in the Jay! 👍👍
Nice day. Clear cam. Nice video.👍
Re. the Crosman's light cocking stroke, that is a 20 ft-lb gun in the US, so it's de-tuned a lot for the UK limits. I wish they made a lower power version that shoot well, but they're obsessed with magnums here.
Jeremy D (a year later...) Have you found an accurate pellet gun in the US which does not spout high velocities?
I'm looking for an accurate springer which is quieter and offers less risk of high speed pass through around the house in a subdivision.
I hunt jack rabbits and pigeon with an NP2 here in Texas, it's a decent pellet gun accurate and reliable.
@@slomo1562 I have been enjoying my Walther Terrus in 177. Used it for squirrels and rats. It is quite enough for backyard shooting and is super accurate with a scope on it. I use bottle caps on a string as a target in a trap.
By putting the barrel outside the netting you are exposing yourself with the shine and silhouette of the barrel. Put camo tape with some leaves on the barrel without blocking your sight. ;)
I enjoyed the show this evening ( when I watched ) and that Benjamin Trail NP2 in .177 here in Canada sells for $350.00 CAD at my favorite Air Gun Dealer.
See you folks in a fortnight.
Reg Sparkes Thanks Reg. Glad you enjoyed it.

Next time you gotta take care of tree-rats, use peanut-butter. Get a block of birdseed, break off a chunk, and smear the peanut butter on it.
They come like moths to a candle flame.
It's nice to see a springer too! I have a Cometa 94 in .25. I love it, light and accurate, not to mention powerful! I personally will always prefer metal springs over gas springs. There's just something about that sound of a steel coil spring that makes me smile.
P.S. Nice shooting on that Jay!
Don't leave your spring tight only load it if your gonna shoot it there it's easy to load and you can do it quick if you pull the spring and leave it it will weaken over time and become less effective pro tip.
I love my Crosman Optimus and regularly squirrel hunt with it. But it did take a while to figure out how to hold it to get good accuracy out of it.
I just bought four tasco varminters brand new for 25 bucks apiece! Three in 2 1/2 x 10 and one 6 x 24. There must be a close out on them. I put one on my nitro piston springer about a week ago and sighted it in. Awesome scope and crystal clear. I bought a few other ones for spares at that price. They’re not rated for air guns on their website but a tasco rep told me they were. They have a lifetime warranty so if they do break they’re covered and at $25 a crack who cares! They are as bright and clear as my Nikon optics. I think I’m gonna put a couple of them on my rimfires and keep the 6x24 for who knows??? I see the high powered one is already gone from the clearance website and they’re up to 100 bucks again everywhere else. It’s not too much of a gamble imo for 25 bucks. I remember when they came out around 2000’ and were around $169/$189.
prosport is such a stunning looking rifle
I have the Hawke vantage 3-9 50 ao scope on my aa s200 is this a decent scope ??
He has a wallace and gromit gob
Excellent
I was waiting for the Airgun Show to begin and all it was is an advertisement.
just like to say nice to see for a change (springer shooting).
you take on board what some people would like to see.
nice shooting with the air arms pro sport springer , was the 1 I was going for but got a good deal on v-mach Weihrauch HW 97KT Tactical .177
alf h Thanks Alf. Sounds like you got yourself a pretty handy springer there.
I love the spring gun then the others.. Nice video
Underwear by Marks and Spencer. Basically a long advert punctuated by the odd shot at some vermin

FYI, my US Benjamin NP2 is advertised as 26ft lb and tested does 19+ consistently. Thought people may be interested in the non restricted power output. It also cost $250 :-) I'll be sure to get an FAC if/when I return to England.
Super Mat
Totally enjoyed the video, gotta'' love springer;s
such an English man
Lovely shot on that jay
Great show as always!
You just talked me into the Benjamin Trail NP, Amazon had it for $153 plus $17.99 shipping, really looking forward to it, thanks for a great review!
Is it any good
Hi Mat. i love your videos and so far i have seen mostly pcp hunting. i would like to ask you for the making of a hunting video with the Diana RWS 350 Magnum, a .22 caliber (5.5) air rifle that even tho its a german made airgun with nice craftsmanship, there are not good videos about it like those videos you do.
hoopfully you will see this message among all the comments you get a day. thanks and cheers from Colombia.
Consistency, and no restriction on the recoil.
Nice video

Hey Mat.
Thanks for song very nice videos. I'm always looking forward for new videos from you.
I was wondering, where have you bought your bean bag chair, the one you always carry with you in your hunting sessions.
Best Regards
Andreas from Denmark.
The "musick" makes u sick? Meh too.
Nice shirt Matt!
I was just wondering which caliber you prefer to do small vermin hunting and target shooting?
That's for another wonderful video gang. So he can shoot with a springer. ;)
ATB Chris
Could u do one with the daisy 1000?
Hi Matt or anyone who would like to answer.
Why do you not think the safety in front of the trigger is not that safe/ or the best? Most of my rifles have that kind of set up and I really like it, I am in the habit of taking the shot then putting the safety back on straight away without thinking. But I am always willing to learn if it will make my shooting safer. Cheers
Ok. I'm trying to decide on a pellet gun for squirrel hunting. Is the gun spring powered or air?. I have a pump up air gun but it is ancient. Decided against the nitro powered piston based on short longevity of use before they fail. I assumed a "springer" meant a compressed spring powers the pellet. But I keep hearing springer air gun so where does the air come into play? And why air and a compressed spring?
I have just started watching your videos they are excellent also l like your camo
Where did you go can't see you you still there hey hey lol good video
I have the same scope on my Diana m48. I've got it mounted in a reworked Chicom ZR mount. I'm nervous about using it without the ZR mount. How has it held up on your springers? Yes, my 48 would not be legal in the UK but figured you'd have enough experience with it to give advice.
.177 or .22 which one is best
How long do you usually keep your springer cocked without damaging the mainspring?
BUC .NLMRN Most should be fine for several hours.
BUC .NLMRN Tom Gaylord did an experiment and kept some springers cocked for several months in a safe and the there was only a small reduction in performance.
oling2812 Thank you Oling2812! I read that article before, but still wonder if there is any other potential damage on prolong-cocked mainspring such as quicker fatigue or easier to have a break.....and by the way, can anyone tell me the dimensions of the tx200 mainspring sub 12 ftlb? OD, ID, length. diameter, coils?
I like break barrel more cause there cheaper yet great and easy to use
Is there a vid on how to disassemble the Pro Sport, and put in a weaker spring? Those are hard to cock after a while.
Hi.mat .love watching your shows .new to the airgun world .was thinking of getting my first airgun riffle .just for some back garden plinking .could you recommend a compo riffle and scrope for a beginner i do like the gamo with the magazine and what pellets to use dave :)
Can you do a episode where you take the NP apart,show us the new tech and internals please
whats a more accurate the pro sport or a diana 56 hunter
you should try umerax octaine .22 cal real nice break barrel
You need to hunt common man style. .177 pellet rifle. A simple pellet rifle like a Crosman or a Gamo. With simple pellets pointed pellets. No fancy camouflage of any kind and show people how the hunt goes. Like a real man.
.:video start at 1:06 :.
Hi..which brand of shooting clothing you wearing in this video... hat jacket and bottoms.. thanks
How about an *affordable* airgun hunt like under £300 that would be really awesome if you could. Like ur videos :)
How much joule is the airgun ?
don't waste your hard earned money on NP2 for that amount (380GBP) my english friends. Instead you can buy second hand english goodies like tx and prosport or hw 's many times better IMHO
i dont know where in the uk u are but, in south yorkshire jays seem to be quite rare these days, so on a personel quarry list, i have taken jays off. i havent seen 1 in a good few years but dont honesty get out as much as i ust to. but if there are still lots where u are, good work, absolutely beautiful bird shame its a corvid
matt white Sounds like a sensible approach, Matt.
Where I am in the South West, jays are very abundant - though being very secretive birds, you only tend to see them when you settle down and wait in the woods. They're actually more common than magpies on several of my shoots, and pose a major problem by taking the eggs and chicks of game birds and songbirds. They do look magnificent, but then so do magpies and woodpigeons. I try to treat all quarry with the same respect, regardless of what it looks like.
Top, bloke. I think to actually be a good hunter like yourself, you have to respect the quarry. good work, keep the awsome vids coming.
Good shooting. I am in search of my next springer and would like some help, please. I have had a Remington .22 for the last 10 years but it has broken. I want another springer and I have it narrowed down to the, Hatsan Torpedo 155 Vortex and the Hatsan Torpedo 100X Vortex. I want the .22 version and one is 1000fps and the other is 800fps. I have heard that anything 1000fps or over can make your accuracy suffer. I have no idea if that is true. I do know that more speed means more ft pounds of energy so I am not sure what to go with. If you could help me out I would appreciate an experts opinion. Look forward to seeing your next video.
Good thing i live in the USA no permit here to have a gun
i would like to go there. do they offer air guns for hire? what's the hunting season? can i get there on public transport? do they have a website?
Is there any chance that you could do a stalk using the long stay HW98 rifle, Brother, It's such a shame that this great rifle never gets much air time, I own one myself and although she is a heavy rifle she has never let me down. Regards Cliff.
+on square 3'rd Masonic, search for Beeman R9, Americans love it.
Thank you for the info' will do.
+newhuskytwenty thanks for the reminder, always forget they call it beeman over in the US
Edolas Vermilion Yes, Beeman also has (and had) a lot of air rifles made in Spain by Norica.

Really good video, I'm a avid squirrel hunter and I never dress as a sniper to hunt squirrel..but like I said great video
Brilliant videos. I love these. Not sure he'd had got that Jay without the camo.
Dosent loading the gun and leaving the spring compressed weaken the spring?
Only for extended amounts of time.
Oh boy.
i need to get one for free because its so expensive here cant affor for airgun sniper what should I do please
Probably would have been more rewarding to male the effort to get the rats rather than sitting ducks coming to the table
Thanks for the reply:-) I have looked at your videos on both models but it would be a tricky one if it was your choice which one would you buy if ya dont mind :-)
What? Only 12 ft lbs are allowed? That is sad, my 22 punches at 25 ft lbs, some do 30 and all break barrels.
How do you hold the rifle still enough
Very Alan Partridge! 😂
you don't tell us the power of the gun. is your pro sport 12 ft/lb or lower?
you guys don't have to wear orange in the UK to go hunting
Brett Duffy nope, unless the owner of the land wants you to die to safety reasons of other hunters but there are soo many hunting grounds that normally your the only one
That’s only when hunting with a rifle for deer
@@cadesawyer6902 oh so it's perfectly safe if I use my 175lbs crossbow while hunting deer, good to know how to get by with murder
How about a Benjamin discovery on test
nice trap..
What is the caliber your using for pro sport ?
Could you review the Umarex Octane .22 as compared with the NP2?
That’s great! What calibre for the Pro Sport?
I have been using the Benjamin NP Varmint which is basically the same rifle, my varmint broke in after 300 pellets and was chronographed at 925 fps with 14.3 grain hollow points. We have wild barn cats that keep the mice down and I shoot the red squirrels which the cats dearly love to eat.
That gun looks dope what is its name?
Love this channel. I want that Tasco scope. I found it on Amazon but doesn't say air rifle approved. Any help ??? Thanks
break barrels will destroy that scope in a couple hundred shots....do not buy ANY tascos for your break barrel....$80.00 hawk will last you a long time....this fool must be getting a kick back from tasco.....
Nice pro sport I have the tx200 was it in 177 or 22?
cybersnipa Pro Sport in the video is .177.
"Full camo means for camo" I can see your nose lol
Does this Game Fair ever come up to Chatsworth?
break barrels will eat ANY tasco scope you buy....how do you not know this???
Springers will eat every brand optic, cheap or expensive, sooner or later. Have you actually wrecked a Tasco varminter on a springer or gas Piston air rifle or are you just making a blanket statement? I called bushnell/tasco and the rep told me the varminter is air gun rated and if it ever fails it’s covered by a lifetime warranty.
Loved the beanie. Can you send the link?
Hide?
It's a blind.
Yes, I'm a Yank.
It must be hard to be a hunter in the UK. You need a gun that goes BANG and game you could feed your family off of! Come to South Carolina sometime... We will set you up right!
+Shane Mullen Many British and Europeans have hunting shotguns and rifles, don't be confused. I am one of them, I got even pistols to be only used at the shooting range but shooting someone even inside your home... that's another story. Of course no concealed carry at all unlesss you're a police officer.
+newhuskytwenty
I was basically told that you would get in trouble for shooting an intruder if he was holding your dog's head in one hand a weed-sprayer full of gasoline in the other. I imagine it's hyperbole, but on a scale of 1 to 10, how far off is that from the truth?
P.S. You should still come hunting in America sometime, we have great game for hunting. I personally recommend Coyotes.
***** Absolutely true, we don't have any right to shoot any intruder. The legitimate and proportional self defense is just a legal theory, We would go to prison for any serious injure done to an intruder and our guns must be always unloaded and inside expensive grade III safe boxes. You don't have the safe box, you can't get the gun license for pistols and rifles.
Is that one the .177 or .22
Hello. What is your rifle brand?
Алексей Савченко it's an air arms pro sport
where in England are you guys from
Nice video, you certainly went through the trouble to get the hunting experience. A bit sad you couldn't bring a combustion powered gun, a simple .22LR would give you a bit longer range and killing power. .177 isn't a lot of margin but clearly your marksmanship skills were up to the challenge. Kudos!!
Should never cock a springer and wait to long...it damages the spring.
I tune air rifles for living. Your talking rubbish.
Squirrels & Jays are pests?
I don't get it.
Grey squirrels are not native to the UK. They have almost wiped out the native red squirrel. They carry a pox virus which kills the red, and can overtake nest of birds and have been known to kill songbird chicks. Jays (plus any other member of the corvid family) are on the pest list mainly due to killing songbird also. Corvid numbers have multiplied because they are clever birds and have taken advantage of human activity which is to the detriment of songbird.
excause me, but isn´t it unfair ( sportily says ) to feed your target (food ) ??
He needed to show himself shooting something to advertise that crappy scope, so a bird feeder was set up. Very far from how I hunt and shoot.
Like welfare?
Hello great work :-) what spring air rifle would you recommend for under £ 150 and what is better 1.77 or .22 caliber for hunting thanks
Peter Ellerby Hi Peter. We were really impressed with the BSA Comet EVO and Remington Express - both of which we've reviewed in previous episodes, and both in the region of £150. Calibre is not such an easy one to answer. .177 is faster and flatter but .22 hits harder and, being more efficient, tends to result in a smoother firing cycle in spring guns. It really does boil down to personal preference - if you can, try both and see which you prefer before you buy.
